Sh*t, that's not good.
Hope it wasn't as a result of watching our match, which didn't mean a lot in the total scheme of things.

Happened Thursday. Had to fly him in to hospital for an emergancy operation to place a stint in. Only 47 spoke to him today and he should be ok.

Re: Nicky "Elvis" Winmar suffers Heart Attack
Get well soon Elvis.
Arguably the most skillful player who ever played in out colours.
The nearest thing to the complete all round player.

Re: Nicky "Elvis" Winmar suffers Heart Attack
Funny thing is today I was reminiscing about Nicky when Milera kicked his long goal. I used to love those long goals that seemed to come off legs the size of string beans. Hope he gets well soon he was a beauty Nicky.

Re: Nicky "Elvis" Winmar suffers Heart Attack
And why the hell is this in Marin Blakes article in the age?
"In his last season for St Kilda in 1998, Winmar played 23 games and kicked 16 goals but was criticised during the match against Carlton in round 20 after spending much of the game fighting opponents, finishing with only eight disposals."

The article finishes with that line - So fcuking what, what does that have to do with anything? Disgraceful!

About 12mths ago I found a old St Kilda Training jumper at a op shop with the # 47 on it signed by Nicky Winmar

Definitely no arguement from me. Also the most electrifying. I used to almost have a heart attack myself every time he went near the ball.
My all time football hero and I'm 2 years older than him. I would walk over a mile of broken glass to watch him play and when he was named out I used to crack it and say "it's almost not worth going now". Lol
My wife works for Qantas and was booking a flight for him a while ago and when he said who he was she said "your my husbands hero" and he actually got all excited and called out to his girl friend in the back ground "I'm this ladies husbands hero".
My wife always deals with celebrities from International actors to rock stars and when she comes home and tells me I don't get too excited but when she told me about Nicky Winmar I was like a starry eyed little kid. "What else did he say"? "Did you get his phone number"? It was almost quite pathetic probably for a guy in my 40s.
No player will ever give me the high and the ride he gave me through his career and he will always hold a special place in my heart.
All the best and get well soon champ I love ya.

Re: Nicky "Elvis" Winmar suffers Heart Attack
Look after yourself Nicky, after witnessing so many wonderful pieces of play i was shocked to hear that my all time favourite saint had just dodged a bullet. Make sure you do everything to get the body as healthy as you can Cuz.
Being there @ Vic Park on that historical day when Nicky lifted his guernsey for the inspection of a minority of fans that should have known better was only one of the great memories from Nicky 'E' Winmar - Nicky Winmar was simply an electric player to see. Marks of the year were only a part of the overall package.
Hang around a bit longer Nicky!

The boy can play and we can build a defence around him that will have respect.
